Circulatory

Front 1

Cardio Vascular System

Back 1

Organ system that transports materials such as nutrients, O2 and hormones to body cells and transports CO2 and other wastes from body cells

Front 2

Blood

Back 2

A type of connective tissue w/ a fluid matrix called plasma in which red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets are suspended

Front 3

Red Blood Cells

Back 3

a type of cell that has a membrane-enclosed organelles. All organisms except bacteria and archaea are composed of eukaryotic cells

Front 4

Red Blood Cells

Back 4

Contains hemoglobin: Iron Containing molecule, picks up oxygen in the lungs (high concentration) Gives up oxygen in areas low in oxygen, formed in bone marrow, circulates 3-4 months, no molecules- can't repair damage, die at rate of 2million/second, dead/dying removed by circulation by liver

Front 5

Why do we need a Circulatory System

Back 5

must be able to transport materials to all part of body

Front 6

Parts of Circulatory System

Back 6

Blood, Heart, Blood Vessels

Front 7

Some of the materials must be transported throughout the body?

Back 7

nutrients, exchange gases, dispose of waste products, needs ultimately extended to every cell in body

Front 8

Parts of Blood

Back 8

Plasma, Red Blood Cells, White Blood Cells, Platelets

Front 9

Plasma

Back 9

Liquid portion of blood, clear/yellow, mostly made up of water, keeps blood pH-7.4, regulates heat

contains (Nutrients, Wastes, Antibodies, Hormones, Salts, Proteins)

Front 10

Red Blood Cell Shape

Back 10

biconcave sphere, as cells mature, they lose Nucleus+ Mitochondria, Almost the entire volume filled with hemoglobin

Front 11

White Blood Cells

Back 11

Leukocytes

Front 12

White Blood Cell Functions

Back 12

Immune Defense against Viruses, bacteria, ect, make antibodies

Front 13

distinguishing b/W RBC+WBCs

Back 13

RBC smaller, RBC more abundant (except when infection is present), WBC have a nucleus

Front 14

Platelets

Back 14

irregularly shaped cell fragments smaller than RBC live for about a week

Front 15

Platelets Function

Back 15

formation of blood cells, trigger activation of a cascade of blood proteins

Front 16

Blood Vessels (Arteries)

Back 16

Carries blood Away from the heart, carries oxygenated blood

Front 17

Arteries: structure

Back 17

thick muscular walls, elastic, branch repeatedly

Front 18

Aorta

Back 18

Largest artery

Front 19

Arterioles

Back 19

smallest arteries

Front 20

Pulse

Back 20

rhythmic stretching of artieries

Front 21

Arterioles & Precapillary Sphincters

Back 21

relax and contract in response to, relaxed arteriole has ^ opening so ^ blood flow, contracted arteriole has v opening so v blood flow

(body selectively controls the blood flow through the arterioles depending on its needs, Homeostasis)

Front 22

Capillaries: Function

Back 22

Materials Cross from blood stream into interstitial fluid baths cells

Front 23

Capillaries: Structure

Back 23

Very Narrow, one RBC can pass through at a time, thinnest (only one cell think)

Front 24

Capillaries: Movement

Back 24

High-Low concentration

Front 25

Veins: function

Back 25

Carries blood towards the heart, usually carries deoxygenated blood, has thinner walls than arteries

Front 26

Venule

Back 26

smallest veins

Front 27

Veins solve all the problem of getting blood back to the heart

Back 27

veins locate next to muscles, valves flaps ensure blood can't flow back

Front 28

Lymphatic Vessels: Problem

Back 28

3L more water leaves capillaries then returns> getting fluid back "in Circulation"

Front 29

Lymphatic Vessels:

Back 29

dead end at one end and drain at other end, carries lymph

Front 30

Lymphatic Vessels: Function

Back 30

Returns Fluid from cells back to circulatory system, fight infections, carry large fat globules that are too large for villi capillaries

Front 31

Elephantiasis

Back 31

parasitic roundworm colonizes lymphatic vessels

Front 32

Heart: Coronary: function

Back 32

Pump blood through the body

Front 33

Heart: Structure

Back 33

Primarily made of muscle, 2 independent pumps (left side and right side), Split into 4 chambers (2 on left and 2 on right), size of fist

Front 34

Pulmonary

Back 34

b/w heart and lungs

Front 35

Systemic

Back 35

b/w heart and lungs and everywhere else

Front 36

Hepatic-Portal

Back 36

B/w heart+ digestive track+ adds nutrients to blood

Front 37

Renal

Back 37

B/W heart + Kidney, Removes waste from blood

Front 38

Coronary

Back 38

B/W heart+ blood vessels supply heart w/ nutrients
